Listen "The Educational Journey of Fancy Quant"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textMy journey to becoming a quant (someone with math, stats, and computer science skills) was non-traditional. Most people are also shocked to find out that I hated secondary school and wasn't even sure I wanted to go to college. I wasn't the biggest fan of primary school either but looking back, I do miss the experience of primary school. College is where I really shined and re-found my curiosity for education and more traditional learning which lead me into statistics, financial engineering, and applied economics. I eventually graduated with a Masters of Applied Economics and went on to a fairly successful career in quantitative risk management (with a lot more ahead of me).You DON'T need to be a genius to be successful at life!Fancy Quant t-shirts, mugs, and hoodies:https://teespring.com/stores/fancy-quantConnect with me:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitri-biancohttps://twitter.com/DimitriBiancoSupport this Channel:https://www.patreon.com/FancyQuantSupport the show
